Meet Tala Zaim, an engineer from the all-woman team from Qatar University, as she talks about how they are empowering women in engineering.

Coming from the first batch of Mechatronics engineering in their university, Tala and her team are enthusiastic about representing women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). She shares how in Qatar University, there are more female than male students in STEM majors.

She also talks about their vehicle, and her view on why getting practical experience through the competition is an important part of their learning.
